i like to add to this from time to time so you can learn more about me without having to be too nervous to ask!

• life in band
  • im a band kid!
  • i play the jazz/concert bass trombone and marching baritone! i've been planning to try out some more instruments like bari-sax and/ or any brass instrument that i havent touched on yet. i'd also love to be front ensemble or play some pitched percussion!
    • you could not pay me to be in colorguard or drumline.
  • im a performer in Pacific Crest Drum and Bugle Corps (DCI) and i play the marching baritone! im also a winds player in the Chapman University Big Band, Jazz Combo, and Wind Symphony. in Chapman's groups, i play the bass trombone and upright euphonium :D

  • I HAVE A LOT OF PERFORMANCES, REHEARSALS, SECTIONALS, AFTER SCHOOL SHENANIGANS AND BAND STUFF HAPPENING IN REAL LIFE!!! which means my activity online is very inconsistent when im not on any breaks. in other words, i have a life-- a band life!
